National Road 3 complete 67%, set to be finished at 2022
Construction of National Road No. 3 connecting Phnom Penh to Kampot has been completed 67% by the end of March 2020 and is due to finish in 2022, according to the Ministry of Public Works and Transport.
The road quality improvement project was broken ground on Monday, May 7th, 2018 by Prime Minister HUN SEN.
Through this National Road No. 3, Cambodia’s natural tourist and coastal areas are connected to Phnom Penh, the heart of the country. Given its geographical proximity to the capital, once completed, this important road will contribute to people’s travel, transport of goods especially salt product transportation from Kampot to other provinces and tourism activities in the northeastern part of the Cambodian coast.
Samdech HUN SEN reiterated the importance of the road that “Once the National Road No. 3 is completed, people will save much time and costs in traveling. Through this road, people who want to visit Kampong Som can also travel along this highway. In the same way, those who reside along this road would grow the income through various economic activities”.
Notably, despite the ongoing epidemic of Covid 19, the construction of National Road 3 still continues. However, the Ministry of Public Works and Transport currently announces to the public that the ministry apologizes for the impact and disruptions during the construction process. The ministry will carefully monitor and urge construction companies to water the road regularly, especially in urban areas, to reduce the impact of dust.
This National Road 3 (Phnom Penh – Kampot) has a total length of 134.796 km, with 69 km from Chaom Chao to Bekkus to be constructed in four lanes and from Bekkus to Kampot town with a total length of 65.796 km, which will be constructed in two lanes with AC quality.
Notably, this National Road 3 construction project costs approximately US$219 million which is invested by China Road Bridge Corporation and technically inspected by Guangzhou Van An, Construction Technician Company. The project is expected to take 48 months to complete. (Read more)
